Bob Saget Had COVID-19 When He Died Of 'Brain Bleed': Report

Bob Saget had COVID-19 when he passed away, a report has revealed.

It has been a month since the "Full House" actor passed away. On Wednesday, the cause of his death was revealed, confirming that he died from head trauma. However, his autopsy also revealed that he tested positive for COVID-19, People reported.

His death did not involve any illicit drugs or toxins. However, he was taking clonazepam, a prescription drug for seizures, panic disorder and anxiety.

His autopsy also showed that he had cardiomegaly (an enlarged heart), coronary artery atherosclerosis (damage or disease in the heart's major blood vessels) and aortic atherosclerosis (plaque build-up inside the wall of the aorta).

Unnamed sources with "direct knowledge" of the situation told TMZ that the comedian died of "brain bleed" and there was "an obvious bruise" on the back of his head. Dr. Roshini Raj, an Associate Professor of Medicine at NYU Langone Health, confirmed this to People.

"This report shows that the [skull and] brain suffered trauma which led to skull fractures, bruising of the brain and actual bleeding in the space around the brain. This blood can compress the brain and cause death. The coroner determined that this trauma was most likely caused by an accidental fall backward," he told the outlet.

He also took notice of the fracture around Saget's eyes, saying, "The head hits something hard and the skull fractures in different places including the orbits (the part of the skull around the eyes) and that causes bleeding which compresses the brain. The force of the hit on the head can also directly bruise and damage the brain."

Saget is survived by his wife Kelly Rizzo and his three daughters — Aubrey, 34, Lara, 32, and Jennifer, 29 — whom he shared with ex-wife Sherri Kramer. The family decided to share the cause of Saget's death after the authorities' investigation concluded because they felt that it was "only proper that the fans hear those conclusions directly from us."

The family said that they have been "overwhelmed with the incredible outpouring of love from Bob's fans" following his death and that their support has "been a great comfort to us and for which we are eternally grateful."

The family is still mourning and asks everyone to remember Saget for the "love and laughter" he brought to the world. They also encouraged everyone to be kind, let their dear ones know they love them and share hugs and laughter.
